Homemade Hawaiian King Rolls

Hi everyone, before I even begin to get into this recipe, that I almost didn't post mind you. I want you all to please ignore my typo in the above picture. When it comes to food blogging, I got it down but photo editing is a whole other animal. Quite frankly if it wasn't for the people out there in cyber space world that love to snag other's pictures I may have just done no editing for this photo. I was going to fix it but I don't have time for that in my life. I have come to realize in my old age that anything that requires too much work for a maybe is not worth it. In other words, if I was going to work my ever loving ass off for a semi decent picture, its not worth it. So about a week or so ago I asked my facebook mob over at https://www.facebook.com/Heatherzblueyez1975?ref=hl if they would like the recipe for these rolls and they all told me they do want the recipe or I will face dyer consequences, like them unliking my page. People still unliked my page however being the generous person I am, I will give out this recipe anyway. Those who unliked me well they will just have to find this recipe the hard way won't they? Ingredients:

Instructions:Before you begin you need to add about half of the amount of flour needed to your mixer,about 3 cups, (yes a mixer is needed for this recipe). Now we need to add in the sugar and yeast. Grab a microwave safe bowl or cup and put 1 stick of butter and milk in the bowl and nuke for about 30 seconds, just until the butter has melted and the milk has warmed up. Add the milk and butter to the mixer along with the pineapple juice and water. Add eggs one at a time. Mix until all ingredients come together and then gradually add more flour, so about a cup at a time. As the flour incorporates you will notice its a very sticky dough, its ok that is what its supposed to do. After about 7 cups of flour and letting it kneed for 7 minutes approx., it should form a soft dough ball and that is where you want to be. If you feel like it needs more flour go ahead and add the last cup but just be careful because you don't want to wind up with crackers. You will need to grease up your hands to handle the dough, I find cooking spray works best. Put your dough in a greased bowl so it can rise. You want the dough to be double in size. Once the dough has risen, lightly push the air out of it with your fingers. Grease up a cookie sheet and just pull small pieces of dough, about golf ball size and place on the cookie sheet. When all the dough is on the cookie sheet let it rise a second time. Pre heat your oven to 350 and bake for about 20 minutes, when the tops are golden brown. Remember that half stick of butter, go ahead and melt that either in the microwave or on your stove top and brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter and serve. Its a bit of a process however the work is so worth it. Thank you for stopping by. Heather
